From Jerry: “You are dick [sic]. I do want to see Trump continuously attack the globalists because they are constantly pushing for a weaker America.”

From Bob: “I predict you will win a Pulitzer for fake news.”

From Hugh: “You are a hard left liberal. Hope you will like an eventual socialist/communist state in the near future!”

But amid the put-downs, there are usually insightful comments from thoughtful people. And it turns out globalization remains a potent issue that gets people fired up.

From Greg: “The economic woes of the middle class over several decades lie solely on the Fortune 1000 leaders who exploit middle management and lower level workers with little/no training, low wage increase, reduced benefits, etc. Wall Street firms run the show and are only interested in profits.”

And Tony wrote that “tariffs are a scam to get votes in the rust belt. [Trump] is playing checkers, the game is chess.”

Trump is right about one thing: voters care a lot about globalization, and many blame it, rightly or wrongly, for their own problems. Expect him to keep going back to that well.
